JPS Labs versus Audio Quest (Megasam?)

Willi no one can predict what you will like for your system, I recommend using Cable Co (www.fatwyre.com) to arrange home trail of a couple cables. If your system is slightly bright or any system try Analysis Plus Oval 9, I really like this cable. AudioAdvisor has demo pair now for $250 8ft. BTW Midnight is good all round cable I used to have some. Never tried JPS line but call Cable Co and try a couple at home, this is the only way to find out.....Regards Sam

JPS is only comparable to the BEST cables at any price!! Can't go wrong. Extremely neutral. Rave reviews in all magazines. It is a reference cable to which other's are compared

I have some JPS lying around gathering dust. I do not think it is anything more than competent. For me it falls into the category of many other solid core cables - it smooths over anything nasty going on in your system and rolls off the top and bottom in a way that does not upset the overall balance. I have tried it in a variety of systems and it is bettered by many other cables. When it works it is because its "subtractive" qualities are desirable in the context of the particular system. I reckon it is OK, or even good, at the price. And if the choice is the likes of Audioquest or Monster, then I can understand why some might prefer JPS. Whew, I have been really negative this time - put it down to an over-reaction to the hype about the JPS. It is OK, but very definitely not great - and I have tried this stuff in several systems.
